2025 The #Flower Hour #10 — Festive Holiday Florals and Decor

Reflecting on

National Poinsettia Day

Yesterday, on December 12th, people celebrated National Poinsettia Day. It is an annual celebration commemorating the death of Joel Roberts Poinsett, an American diplomat that introduced the Poinsettia plant to the United States. It honours its deep ties to Christmas traditions, especially the Mexican legend of a poor girl whose humble gift of weeds bloomed into the beautiful “Flower of the Holy Night.”

Red Poinsettias

National Poinsettia Day is a day for spreading holiday cheer with the Red-leafed plants. Churches line them up in front of pulpits & many are donated by members in honor of loved ones no longer with us. Poinsettias are often given as gifts during the. Christmas holiday season.

I am an avid reader. I read mostly Amish fiction but also read other novels. I enjoy romance, mystery, and Christian devotionals. I enjoy hiking in the outdoors, especially in Greenways and State or National Parks. I love my grandson. He is my favorite subject, so I'll post about him and his antics.

  1. Entirely understandable, Deb, …. I do mix ups all the time, … and I haven’t got the sleep deprivation you’re experiencing, …(though for such a wonderful reason) … Poinsettias, … you just have to look at them to feel uplifted, … and thank you for the extra added info, Deb, … have a great weekend, ( and a few quick naps)….✨

    1. I do work on posts late in the night after my grandson goes to sleep & have them post just after midnight on Friday morning. I might claim sleep deprivation, my new granddaughter was born early Tuesday morning at 2:46 am and didn’t get any real sleep until Wednesday night after being awake since very early Monday morning.
